Thanks, guys.

Alright, been a little while. Hope everyone had a good Christmas and new year. (argh! curse you burnt out Christmas light!)

Okay, so a lot of my family got me gift cards for Jegs, Ecklers, Summit, and Amazon. So, shortly after Christmas, I had a couple of things show up on my doorstep. :ups:

Well, shortly after that, cold, rainey weather, work stuff, and a six year old dominated my time. BUT I finally found myself back in the garage. No pictures on this one, but rolled out the 1/4" Dynaliner on top of the Dynamat inside the cab. Started wrapping up the wiring and everything was working, except the headlights. Check all the grounds, fuses, and tested all connections. Think I traced it down to the dimmer switch on the floor board. Local parts did not have it, so I ordered it (A little left on the Gift Card!)
While I wait on that, I shift over to brakes. Installed the new master cylinder and started work on the stainless lines.

Realized I had to remove the subframe connectors and DS loop to run them right, but got 'er done. (one good thing about bolt in :rolleyes: )

Looked around and admiring the bottom of the car and wow, the rear-end yoke looks like a$$ compared to the rest of it. haha

Anyway, I got the dimmer switch in and I was skeptical, but I hooked it up and voila! All lights working. So I decided to start buttoning up the front and put he grill back in.

...and even the bumper. A quick light check and we are looking good.

That's it for now. I am trying to dedicate an hour each night during the week to work on this thing. Hopefully I can keep it going until the weekend. Spring is quickly approaching. Gotta pull the 383 back out of plastic wrap and do some finishing touches to prepare to drop it back in soon. That'll drop the front in down where it should be too!

Everyone's projects are looking great! ...and thanks for lookin' at mine!

Nice job! its looks like a done deal in that last picture.

:confused59: Wow! The car looks awesome!! I can only imagine how excited you must be. It won't be long before you are cruising and enjoying the car.

:captain:

Thanks, guys.

Small update. I've just been tweeking things on the interior and wiring, a lot of work, but nothing worth posting, other than I got a set of optical LED halo headlights in and installed those...

Other than that, I turn my attention to the 383. Got to freshen it up a little. Good, solid engine. I only had it in the car 4 1/2 years when I pulled it out started this adventure. Only made a handful of passes on the track. Just needs a little cleaning and touching up. Maybe replace the water pump and power steering pump with billet. Already have the pulley system.

See ya!

Cleaned up and freshened up. Ready to go back in the car...

Gorgeous day today to work on it. Still adjusting the passenger side striker and laid more Dynaliner on top of the Dynamat.

Ready to see the front drop once the 383 is back in. Rear ought to drop a little too once fuel tank, etc. is installed...

Getting there slowly. More to come...

Man that's a good looking blue!!!

Who made the halo headlights? Those look cool fer sure!

Car looks great and you are doing an excellent job. Keep the pics and progress coming.

Looking Good!
 

That is a darn fine looking driver's side window! The color really pops in the sun and shows better than in the garage. Awesome job. Let's drop that motor in it!

Looking better every time we see it.

Yeah, thanks again, Rob for holding the glass and helping drop it in when you were over. It would have been nerve racking trying to hold the glass and adjust it while worrying about scratching that new paint. Lol. Yeah, the motor is ready. Problem is, the last ime I checked it is 100% chance of rain this weekend. So I'll play it by ear.
